About test
What does IHC - CEA - (Outlab) measure?
This immunohistochemistry (IHC) test detects carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression in tissue cells. CEA is a marker that may be present in certain normal tissues and in some cancers, particularly those involving the gastrointestinal tract. The test may help healthcare professionals assess the origin or characteristics of a tumour and support interpretation alongside tissue appearance, other IHC markers, imaging, and clinical findings.
